What is this obsession with Criterion? over 2 years ago

I’m from the UK so maybe I don’t quite understand but I see loads of threads about films being released by the criterion collection and just about the dvd cases and stuff like that. What’s the big deal?

John Carpenter spawned the slasher genre, so really the only slasher film I feel has merit is Halloween.

Very eloquent description. That’s pretty much my humble impression….

Definedivine you are spot on about that film. I am an Anarchist and it is a joke to what Anarchism stands for.

Last film I watched was Night of the Hunter (1955) 8/10

How many times do you watch a film? over 2 years ago

I hear about people re-watching films as a rule. I don’t generally do this I usually only watch a film once and by this I evaluate it. I usually think I can tell whether a film is great or not by one viewing.

However I can see them merits of multiple viewings, for example I only truly appreciated Blade Runner and The Shining after I watched them twice.

What is your stance on multiple viewings?

How many times do you watch a film? over 2 years ago

I do watch a lot of films I love twice and more than twice, but I find there’s only so much time to watch films, so that time is usually filled by watching films I haven’t seen yet.

The Terminator 8/10

I am not completely dismissive of Hollywood. As much as I would like not to, I enjoyed this film. It was a thriller in the simplest way possible. But it works.

Jets match up to Indy well I think, so I’m passing judgement on that one.

Not sure about the NFC title game either. Probably NO I think….
